The Spring Insight was extremely beneficial for me as I am a student interested in the financial sector who comes from an Engineering background. The week has an adequate mix of presentations, exercises, challenges which I thoroughly enjoyed as I constantly improved my knowledge and got to know my fellow interns. However, the best part was that even though we had multiple sessions focused on the specific area of interest, we also had common activities with all of the other areas. Therefore, I managed to get a complete understanding of the entire firm.
I really enjoyed it. It was a well rounded programme in to what an Investment Bank had to offer. It wasn't just restricted to the obvious investment banking and sales & trading talks, but was extremely diverse.
Very well planned insight week that delivered an excellent package which was fun and enjoyable. The only difficulty I had was that the week was multi-divisional, so some information was irrelevant or difficult to understand.
I really liked it and would definitely recommend it to anyone that is interested in finance. There are some many niche departments within a bank that you can only explore once you are here. Senior people were very keen to make time to speak to interns- which is something truly unique and not very common in other banks.
